posted by Randall

Here we go again. 21 and Over opens in theaters today. It’s another college romp comedy featuring an Asian American student and his two white friends centered around drunken parties. Surprise, surprise, skeptic Asian American. You can set your worst fears aside.

According to a review in Hyphen Magazine this movie actually breaks stereotypes about Asian Americans and Asian American men in particular as sexless, nerdy, and study machines.

The movie features Justin Chon as Jeff Chang. The night before his big medical school exam, Chang celebrates his 21st birthday with his two best friends. Chon has many roles to his credit including a part in the Twilight Saga, Breaking Dawn, Pt 1.
